User Guide How to Use Windows 8: The Basics Parts Description Setup Network / Internet Connections Settings Backup / Recovery Security Other Operations Notifications Troubleshooting List of Topics Personal Computer VAIO Duo 13 SVD1321 Back Back to Top Creating Recovery Media Search Print Follow the instructions below to create Recovery Media. You can use DVDs, Blu-ray Disc, or a USB flash drive as Recovery Media. On the model without a built-in optical disc drive: Use a USB flash drive. On the model with a built-in optical disc drive: It is recommended that you use DVD-R media, because data can be accidently deleted from a USB flash drive. You can also use BD-R/BD-R DL/DVD-R DL/DVD+R/DVD+R DL media; however, the type of media your VAIO computer supports and the number of discs you need vary depending on the model you purchased. You will be notified of such information during the creation process. Note USB ports that are compliant with the USB 3.0 standard do not support recovery with a USB flash drive that is compliant with the USB 3.0 standard. On models without the USB ports that are compliant with only the USB 2.0 standard, be sure to create Recovery Media using the USB flash drive that is not compliant with the USB 3.0 standard. 1. Connect your VAIO computer to the Internet and download and install the latest updates using VAIO Update. 2. If you create Recovery Media (optical discs) on the model without a built-in optical disc drive, connect an external optical disc drive (not supplied) to your VAIO computer. (See Connecting an External Drive for more information on how to connect the external optical disc drive.) If an AC adapter or a power cable is supplied, plug it into a power source. 3. Press the ASSIST button while your VAIO computer is on to start VAIO Care. If the User Account Control window appears, select Yes. The VAIO Care window appears. 4. Select Advanced Tools, Restore and recovery, and Create Recovery Media. 5. Read the on-screen instructions carefully, and then select Next. 6. Follow the on-screen instructions. Note It may take some time for the current status of the process to display. Do not eject or disconnect the media while creating Recovery Media, as doing so may result in a failure. Keep Recovery Media in a secure place. Hint If you are signed in to your VAIO computer as a standard user, you may be prompted to enter an administrator name and a password. 344
